No News Is Good News!

I have no news today as is almost always the case with my entries here, so I'll write about my English online lesson with a Filipino tutor last night.
The material was the following news: "Spicy dispute over the origins of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos winds up in court". 
https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/26/business/flamin-hot-cheetos-pepsico-lawsuit/index.html.

The following is the feedback from the tutor.

*Grammar*
I said: He makes a suit against his company.
Correct: He filed a lawsuit against his company.
---> Oops, he might be a tailor who made clothes to his company staff members. Lol

I said: Probably the company don't want him to become rich.
Correct: The company probably doesn't want him to become rich.
---> Oh, I still made such an easy and basic mistake. Hahaha

winds up (verb) [ wahynds ]
I said, [winds], like "The Sun and the North Wind" in Aesop's Fables.

What a shame!
Lol


便りがないのは良い知らせ!

特にニュースがなく、いつもながらここに書くネタがないので、昨晩のフィリピン人の先生との英語のオンラインレッスンについて書きます。

教材は以下のニュースでした:「フレーミン・ホット・チートスの起源をめぐる辛口の論争が法廷で決着する」
https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/26/business/flamin-hot-cheetos-pepsico-lawsuit/index.html

以下は先生からのフィードバックです。

文法
私が言った文: 彼は会社に対してスーツを作ります。
正しい文: 彼は会社に対して訴訟を起こしました。
---> おっと、彼は会社のスタッフのために服を作ったテイラーかもしれませんね。笑

私が言った文: たぶん会社は彼が金持ちになるのを望んでいません。
正しい文: 会社はたぶん彼が金持ちになるのを望んでいません。
---> ああ、まだこんな簡単で基本的な間違いをしているんだ。ハハハ

winds up (動詞) [ワインズ]
私が言った: [ウィンズ]、まるでイソップ物語の「北風と太陽」のように。

残念!
